    Lab results seem way too high

    I would be interested to see how prop EOD works for you. It would be pretty wild swings but you may do well with that. If you could do it for the good of the forum it won't take you long to figure out how it feels.

    Lab results seem way too high

    Why would you make such an odd change to your protocol? Just lower your dose. Thats what your data is telling you to do. You could cut it in half and still be at the top of the range. I like prop because I know what to do much faster. Prop has less sides too which you experience personally...

    Lab results seem way too high

    Those numbers are most likely accurate. At one point I was taking 30mg prop a day and I measured at trough. Numbers were through the roof like yours. Its a different beast than cyp.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    I believe you could be right. Just need to monitor health markers. I may be able to contribute to this thread sooner than later. I have labs coming up and I might see what the impact of Tren is. Very low dose, around 5mg of ace a week.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    I've actually been a little curious about this but I was always afraid to go down the tren route because it has such a horrible reputation. I've only dabbled with very low doses for just a few days before I chickened out.

    Tren Improves Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Myocardial Tolerance to Ischemia-Reperfusion in Male Rats With Testosterone-Deficient Metabolic S

    According to the study, it doesnt seem like Tren reduced fat or promoted muscle much more than the control, unless I am reading the graphs wrong....

    Thyroid Labs for Dixiewrecked

    I wanted to be sure that I understand. Are you saying that highE2 caused you to have a higher RT3? Did you feel benefits from T3 alone before stopping or did it stop having a positive effect?

    Digging into my initial labs, my T3 was at 3.1. Not much better than it is now. I think I will pivot and focus on my adrenal function. I'll retest cortisol and ACTH like Sparky suggested in about a month once I have given this licorice and Panax Ginseng a trial. I also have cordyceps on hand...

    8 am was 10. Noon was 10. 4pm was 2.9. 8pm was 3.1. I'll check out those threads when I get back to my place. Thanks again for the help

    I think the NDT is probably raising my RT3. I don't have a baseline because defy prescribed upon my initial consultation based on a tsh around 2.8. so I'm not sure about RT3 with no thyroid meds.

    https://www.excelmale.com/threads/help-with-labs-high-rt3.23536/ Here is a thread of me feeling the exact same way 3 years ago. Pretty much the same thyroid numbers. But I wasn't taking any kratom or Lexapro.

    Man thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge. Currently I use kratom. Not an insane amount but it gets me going despite the lethargy ive experience for years. Maybe that causes some disruption similar to opioids. I also started 10mg of Lexapro about 3 months ago. Again well after...

    Thyroid Labs for Dixiewrecked

    So the plot thickens. Looks like my cortisol is kind of messed up. I have attached the labs. Apparently low cortisol can increase RT3 so I am going to attempt to mitigate this with licorice root extract and panax ginseng. Morning and noon cortisol levels were middle of the range and have room...

    Thyroid Labs for Dixiewrecked

    Cat, thanks for that bad ass reply and sharing your experience and quick research. I also have a saliva cortisol test that was sent in, and I am awaiting the results. My initial layman's thought is that high doses of test affect adrenal function and alter cortisol production and this in turn...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
